DOE, ABMA work to advance commercial packaged boiler testing changes
The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced a proposed rulemaking to amend the test procedures for commercial packaged boilers (CBP). The American Boiler Manufacturers Association says this is the result of a multi-year effort by the association to ensure that it members are able to comply with the procedure requirements.
For the past few years, Geoff Halley, ABMA's technical director has been leading a task force of members in the commercial sector, working closely with DOE officials, to better understand the issues on both sides and reach consensus on a solution. This included face-to-face meetings at DOE along with follow-up conference calls.
